ABOUT US
general information about the hash |
The Puerto Galera House Harriers meet every Saturday afternoon. Runs usually start at 3.30pm from Captn Greggs Dive Resort on Sabang Beach (see our Getting_Here page) except for special occasions when the time may be altered (see our Events page).
The Hash fee is currently 300 pesos for men, 200 pesos for women and 150 pesos for children and non-drinkers. The fee includes beer, gin juice or soft drinks that you consume during the period of the Hash as well as any transportation costs when the Hash travels to outlying locations. First time runners pay an additional fee of 150 pesos which includes lifetime membership and a t-shirt. Our club is a family hash and people of all ages and sexes are welcome but bear in mind that some traditional bawdy songs are sung at our circles (see our Songbook and decide for yourself if it's suitable for the kiddies).
Runs are generally divided into two courses, one for runners and the other for walkers so you can choose the course you wish to take depending on your level of fitness or mood. Course lengths are typically 4 to 7 km and can take from one to two hours to complete depending on the length, terrain and whether you choose to walk, jog or run.
Most of our runs take in some spectacular scenery and interesting Mangyan (native) villages and jungle, and our post run circles often produce some interesting antics so it's worthwhile bringing a small camera but make sure you can keep it dry in case of rain or beer accidents. If you have any questions regarding the Hash, then please don't hesitate to get in touch with the members listed on our Contact page. ON ON! |
We don't do over the top stuff at our circles like bare-arsed ice-sitting or toilet seat necklacing as the emphasis is on the social gathering rather than public humiliation. New runners will be grouped together and asked individually their names, country of origin and occupation and then asked to down a drink (this can be a soft drink) while everyone else sings a song. All wonderfully childish and good-humored.
Recommended Hash dress consists of a t-shirt and shorts and light protective footwear such as running shoes (duh). Flip flops (thongs to the Aussies) or open style sports sandals that don't provide toe protection are not recommended. Complete your ensemble with a cap or hat, sunscreen and a sense of humor.
